Ireland Inspired Pieces

So I’m back in the states after a wonderful trip to Scotland and Ireland. I spent a lot of time viewing the local landscape, flora, architecture and rock through a camera  lens.  I love being digital- I am not a good photographer, so I take lots and weed through and delete later.  Now home, I took several hours pouring through my 4 million photos, and was dying to use them. So of course, with a show in three weeks, I'm going to try something completely new. That’ll keep things exciting:)  I narrowed it down to a couple photos, had them printed, glued them onto a panel, wrapped the imagery around the edge, and now going to apply wax layers with more texture and Imagery.  There are many more to come, but I started with this bridge on the Dingle peninsula which we crossed at the beginning of a long and winding walk about on a misty afternoon.  


I obscured the water a bit, then pumped up the moss with some green texture. 



 I transferred on a topographical map of the peninsula on the lower left side, and wrapped it around the edge.  added more texture and  stained some of the relief areas.


-and I MAY be done…. 



gonna let it sit for a couple days and see if I still agree…
